King Edward's School Remembrance Parade

On Wednesday 8 November, over 700 boys and 70 staff assembled in formation on the parade ground of King Edward’s School to honour those who gave their lives to secure and protect our country. Special remembrance was given to former pupils: 245 were lost in the First World War, over 100 in the Second World War and Flight Lieutenant Rakesh Chauhan, aged 29, who lost his life in Afghanistan in 2014. Over 150 boys of the CCF were present and wreaths were laid at the foot of the bell of HMS Birmingham, part of the Home Fleet during the Second World War.
